Pironman 5-Max PC Case for Raspberry Pi 5 Features Dual NVMe, Hailo-8L Support, RGB Fans, and 0.96-inch OLED
SunFounder has recently unveiled a new PC case named as the Pironman 5-Max for the Raspberry Pi 5, supporting Hailo-8L AI Accelerator PWM Tower Cooler. Pironman 5-Max is an update of the Pironman 5 tower PC case for the Raspberry Pi 5 with a new sleeker design made of black aluminium and semi-transparent black acrylic panels.
Featuring a dual NVMe PiP expansion board for two M.2 NVMe SSDs with NAS RAID 0/1 configuration support, Hailo-8L AI Accelerator, a PCIe Gen. 2 switch, PWM [Pulse-Width Modulation] tower cooling, dual RGB fans, dual transparent panels with programmable RGB lighting, and a 0.96-inch smart OLED display with vibration wake-up or tap-to-wake-up, the Pironman 5-MAX turns the Raspberry Pi 5 into a miniature gaming desktop.
Pironman 5-Max specifications:
- Designed for Raspberry Pi 5 and compatible SBCs
- Storage:
- Dual M.2 NVMe SSD slots (2230/2242/2260/2280)
- PCIe 2.0 x1 lanes (limited by onboard switch)

In terms of software, Pironman 5-Max PC Case supports Raspberry Pi OS, Ubuntu Desktop/Server 24.04, and Home Assistant. Applications include Home Assistant hubs and boost the performance of AI edge computing devices.
SunFounder has opened pre-orders for the Pironman 5-MAX on its website at $71.24, or a 25% early bird discount over the regular $94.99 price tag; the Raspberry Pi is not included for that price, but can be added alongside NVMe storage, camera modules, AI accelerators, and a power supply as optional extras.
A good computer case will allow the computer room to dissipate heat better, and the IT transformer will also protect the computer room.
High-quality FR-4 can be used as the PCB substrate for computer hosts.
